$300? Each?
A normal brand new 240w Blackstar flowering model frequently goes for $278 on blackstarled.com, amazon.com & gotham hydro (
Including shipping). They go for even less on eBay, with some patience. With even MORE patience you can snag them for well under $200 each, slightly used as I have done.
PS - While these panels are not the greatest, they aren't shit. Everyone keeps bringing up the one year warranty and the melting led diode that has been causing everyone problems. That diode (UV or IR? I forget which) was a mistake on models manufactured during a 6 month span. Panels before or after that
do not have this problem.
That being said the one year warranty is too short and it remains to be seen if any other issues pop up. But remove the diode problem and there are zero complaints (am i missing anything?) with these panels from what I can see.
Anyway, Just wanted to clear that up. Everyone makes it seem like these panels are completely defective and that is just flat out
not correct.
